4 ABOUT THE FORUM Mr. Vasily MATYUSHEVSKY, First Deputy Prime Minister of the Republic of Belarus: «The TIBO event has become very large-scale in the last few years. Certainly, the TIBO platform enjoys a well-deserved authority in Belarus both among the respective companies and our Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU) colleagues. Traditionally, Belarus is open to dialogue. Today, the world is talking a lot about the new economy, and you can see the most promising areas of it at the exhibition. This economy will determine the development of the civilization in the near future. And it is important for us that we are in the forefront of this process. Mr. Sergei POPKOV, Minister of Communications and Informatization of the Republic of Belarus: We ve tried to bring the most advanced solutions in the field of telecommunications and informatization to the exhibition. More than 100 organizations from 17 countries take part in the exhibition. We are grateful to the world s leading companies for actively participating in organizing and holding this exhibition. I wish everyone to touch new solutions in the field of telecommunications and informatization, to make sure that all of them will be useful for the state, businesses and citizens. It should be noted that the exhibition becomes more intense every year. We change approaches: this year, we are transforming it even more towards informatization in order to display new tools offered by the government and the business community for developing e-services and digitalizing various administrative procedures. Mr. Bishar HUSSEIN, Director General of the International Bureau of the Universal Postal Union (UPU): On behalf of the 192 member states of the organization that I represent, I would like to echo the already voiced statements and warm wishes to the TIBO exhibition. I want to emphasize the important role the ICT sector plays in the issues of social and economic development of our countries. I congratulate the Republic of Belarus on the fact that it has initiated the implementation and promotion of this initiative so actively. In the post-soviet space, we are also a specialized organization that deals with these issues. The Universal Postal Union is now undergoing tremendous transformation processes, and Information Technologies are one of our key priorities, because this enables us to get the latest technologies. We are ready to provide further assistance in the development of the IT sector in this region. Thank you very much for the invitation to take part in this event. 4
